"3 RECIPES WHICH TURNED MY ATTITUDE TO FOOD

We have returned from India and memories still remain. I brought you recipes from the chef from

1. CHICKEN SATE ( warming power )

What is needed:
· Chicken fillet 500 g
· Natural yogurt 200 ml
· Fresh ginger (grated) 1 lb.
· Turmeric 1 tsp.
· Ground coriander 1 tsp.
· Honey - 1 tsp.
· Lime/lemon juice - 2 tablespoons.
· Himalayan salt

What to do:
1. Slice the fillet in strips.
2. Mix yogurt, spices, honey and lime juice. Marinate the chicken in this sauce for 2 hours (can be overnight).
3. Lower on twigs and roast on the grill or in the oven until brownish. Why it works: Ginger and cumin “kindle” the digestive fire, turmeric relieves inflammation, and yogurt makes meat tender and easy to digest.

2. CREAM OF PUMPKIN SOUP

What is needed:
· Pumpkin 600 g
· Coconut milk 200 ml
· Onion 1 pc.
· 2 cloves of garlic
· Vegetable broth — 500 ml
· Coconut oil - 1 lb.
· Pumpkin seeds for serving

What to do:

1. Onion and garlic pass in coconut oil until tender.
2. Add cut pumpkin, turmeric, pour in the broth and cook until the pumpkin is ready.
3. Grind with a blender, pour coconut milk, add nutmeg and heat.
4. Pass by sprinkling pumpkin seeds. Why it works: Pumpkin and coconut milk soothe Vata-dosha (air), giving a sense of grounding, and turmeric cleanses the body at a cellular level.

3. LOCAL GRILLED FISH WITH VEGETABLES

For clarity of mind, lightness in the body and a surge of strength.

What is needed:
· Salmon steaks or any white fish 2 pcs.
· Zucchini 1 pc.
· Bell pepper 1 pc.
· Asparagus 100 g
· Olive oil 2 tablespoons.
· Lemon juice 2 tablespoons.
· Fresh dill, sea salt, black pepper

What to do:
1. Spray the fish with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
2. Cut the vegetables in large quantities, spray with oil.
3. Grill everything: first vegetables until tender, then fish 3-4 minutes on each side.
4. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh dill. Why it works: Fish is a source of pure protein and Omega-3s for clarity of mind, and grilled vegetables retain maximum benefits and provide energy, not weight.

"There is contact that heals the soul.

Today I want to tell you about a dance in which you are the main party. Ayurvedic Massage in Dharana . It's more than just muscle work. This is a conversation in the language of touch, warm oils and ancient knowledge.

Warm butter infused with herbs brings you on like a wave. The therapist’s hands are not just hands. These are the ushers. They find those clamps and blocks you never even knew existed. Those who have accumulated for 6, 10, 39 years... They dissolve under this pressure of care.

This is a hypnotic trance. You close your eyes, and your body ceases to be just a physical shell. It becomes a river. A river that carries you away from everything superfluous, to yourself - renewed, light, forgiven.

You don't just "relax" after a massage like this. You're coming back to your body again. And you understand that it is not an enemy who needs to be restricted, but the most faithful ally on the road to longevity.

This is the art of detox - returning to yourself through touch.

Every single time .. here ... I close my eyes and feel that not just oil, but the liquid sun is melting over my skin. It penetrates deeper into the most secret corners where fatigue and stress live. And with every movement of the therapist's hands, they quietly leave me, giving way to silence and weightlessness...

And how does your body dance?"

Every cell, organ, and system in your body has a natural frequency.

When the body is under stress, these frequencies become imbalanced, leading to disharmony. Our expert therapists use instruments like precision-tuned Tibetan singing bowls and gongs to generate specific vibrations and waves.

These carefully calibrated frequencies interact with your body, bringing your internal systems back into a state of balance.

More than a passive experience; this is an active, clinically-informed practice of neuro-physiological regulation

"Six years. A whole life could fit in this space. My India used to be about the salty splashes of the Arabian Sea and the ease of life. Now I understood - I don't need lightness. I need some depth.

Mumbai is not greeted with an ocean breeze, but with a thick, spicy air that holds the promise of change. And I am here at Dharana Art of Detox Not to "take a break". In order to meet yourself. What was left after six years of fuss.

This is no escape from reality. This is a dive into the very essence. Into the silence that arises after noise. Into the body that remembers how to be healthy and full of energy. In the mind that craves not new impressions, but new clarity.

39 is not an age. This is a gathering point. A place where all the roads you have traveled converge and opens a view of what is yet to come. And I chose the path to myself. Through the gentle yet cruel to toxins, the art of detox by Dharana

Are you ready to take a look inside with me? This journey is now a life-long journey. Today at the tea ceremony I realized how wonderful it is to always choose yourself

And close your eyes and imagine that you hear not the noise of the city, but the ticking of your internal clock. It's not the years that count, it's the quality of your life. They whisper softly, "It's time." It's time to cleanse not only the body, but also those thoughts that weigh down your step. Welcome to my new home - India . Mumbai"

"THE WEEDS AND THE GRAIN. WHY I CHOOSE ME

There are moments in life when you have to choose. Between someone else's "need" and my "want". Between money and soul. Between speed and depth.

I choose the depth.

The past few weeks have been a time of intense separation for me. Like a good gardener, I went through my garden and learned to distinguish the grain from the weeds.

W**d is what strangles growth. It's a rush when they tell you "time is against us". This is aggression disguised as business grip. These are promises of fast money for which you need to pay with your integrity.

A grain is a quiet but unbreakable voice inside. Who says go your way. Which reminds you that your uniqueness is not a flaw, but the main gift. Who whispers that only from the depths something real is born.

I'm giving up on everything that makes me run so fast that I stop hearing myself and you.

I'm getting back to my true self. To the mission of a guide.

My forte is not to "storm" the market. My power is to feel and hear. To hear from you. Hear the silence between the words. To help you find your true desires, not your imposed goals.

That's why I'm in India now. To cleanse yourself to become an even cleaner channel for you. And first of all for myself. To return with renewed strength and new tools for our deep work with you.

And the first thing I'm going to do when I come back is run my transformation games. Only for those who like me are tired of weeds and want to find their own grain.

It will be a space of trust, silence and breakthrough insights. Where we find your truest "want" and create a roadmap to it.

P.S. If this post appeals to you, it means you are on the verge of choice. My advice to you: choose your grain. Choose yourself. All the time. This is the only way that matters.

P.P.S. Subscribe and stay tuned for announcements. I will announce game dates soon. Let's start our return home. To myself.

And yes, if there is a huge request to understand your truth, write a comment - I'll analyze it on air in the near future

And I continue to enjoy the retreat at with my dear "

"India. A retreat & transformation. ➡️ Subscribe so you don't miss out.

You know the feeling... when the plane touches the runway and something clicks in the chest?

It's like moving an invisible gauge inside. And you understand: that woman, who got on the plane a few hours ago, is not getting out of it. She stayed there, in her previous life, for thousands of kilometers.

I'm writing this from my room right now. Outside the window - the singing of unfamiliar birds and the air thick with the smells of spices and wet earth. The air that smells ... with other possibilities.

And as you read these lines, I want you to do one simple thought experiment.

Close your eyes. Take a breath.

And on the sigh... let it go.

Let go of that image of yourself that you have been so diligently carrying all these years. The image of the "strong". The look of “comfortable”. The “who always gets it right” look.

Feel what it feels like to stop being her for a moment.

Can you hear that? This is silence. Silence after a long war you have fought... by myself.

And now open your eyes. And know: what you felt now is just an echo. Echo of that silence and that complete peace for which I came here.

My retreat is not about "resting."
It's about reassembling yourself piece by piece. Like a puzzle, the details of which were out of place for decades.

Here, in the authentic practices of Panchakarma and ancient meditation, I will learn more than just "relax". I will learn to listen. To hear the whispers of my body, which I silenced for so long with the city noise. To hear the voice of my soul telling me the truth while I pretended I didn't understand.

It's a deep journey. To the wild, real, non-dependent version of ourselves we all once knew.
And I carry this experience with me. Right at ya.

Because the world is already full of "advice." But he desperately needs cards. Homecoming cards. To myself.

P.S. And now ask yourself a question, not with your mind, but with the same, barely conceived silence inside: "What is really waiting for my soul?" » Just listen to the answer. It is already there.
P.P.S. This journey has just begun. The most secret discoveries and practices await you in my stories. And not to miss anything, press the bell.
